{"product_id":"2940013681538","title":"The Pin Up Girl Murders","description":"From habit Don Kemp's slate gray eyes went to the unusual \"pin-up\u003cbr\u003egirl\" on the wall above his drawing table. His eyes became colder and\u003cbr\u003ehe uttered an oath through clenched teeth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow the pin-up girl certainly was not such as to arouse the anger of a\u003cbr\u003ered blooded lieutenant of army engineers. The scanty sarong of the\u003cbr\u003epin-up picture proved that she had everything the most discriminating\u003cbr\u003emale might demand, from her massed golden hair to slender ankles and\u003cbr\u003etiny feet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Smile, blast you, smile!\" exploded Kemp audibly. \"So my shy, little\u003cbr\u003eTina will be far from the old home town tonight. Yeah! In person! To\u003cbr\u003eshow off her pin-up charms to all the other boys of the steenth\u003cbr\u003eengineer corps! An' I placed you special, before I found out half the\u003cbr\u003ewolves in the company had the same picture!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the meantime, my dear Tina, besides bringing sweet dreams to a\u003cbr\u003ewhole pack of wolves, you've been faithfully guarding the plans which\u003cbr\u003emay alter the whole outcome of the war and shorten its time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lieutenant engineer spoke with confidence. For it appeared obvious\u003cbr\u003ethat the recent prowler had been seeking other valuables, or, if the\u003cbr\u003etank prints was the objective, it had been missed. Otherwise two rooms\u003cbr\u003eoverlooking the white beach and the Atlantic would not have been so\u003cbr\u003ethoroughly searched.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"My beloved Tina!\" he muttered again through set teeth, as he touched\u003cbr\u003ethe apparently immovable and pasted black cardboard and it slid to one\u003cbr\u003eside. \"Tina who has become the pet of the engineers, and who--\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe come-on eyes of the golden-haired girl still seemed to be watching\u003cbr\u003ehim as the black background slid to one side. Her fixed smile was\u003cbr\u003eunchanged even as Kemp bit off his words, jerked a hand to the wall,\u003cbr\u003eand then started swearing low and steadily.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Gone?\" His gasped exclamation was a question, as if he could not\u003cbr\u003ebelieve it \"Gone! They've got the tank plans!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE wall safe he himself had installed behind the cardboard of the\u003cbr\u003epin-up girl had a sliding door. He saw that its combination had been\u003cbr\u003esolved by an expert. The blueprints vital to all of the tests now\u003cbr\u003ebeing carried on by the--th corps were in alien hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon Kemp slipped the pin-up girl back into place instinctively as he\u003cbr\u003eheard footsteps outside his door. Ragged nerves sent his hand fumbling\u003cbr\u003eat his revolver holster. The thieving spy would scarcely be returning,\u003cbr\u003ebut Kemp's brain was seething that such a theft could have been\u003cbr\u003eaccomplished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was compelled to recall that there were civilian employees about\u003cbr\u003ethe big beach hotel given over to the engineering unit. Of course, all\u003cbr\u003ehad been checked and double-checked for loyalty. But this war had\u003cbr\u003edeveloped some strange and dangerous enemies, even among those who\u003cbr\u003ecould prove American birth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the steps halted and there was a quick rap at the door, Don Kemp\u003cbr\u003esaid, \"Come in!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRed-headed, round-faced \"Legs\" McCarthy, the corps photographer,\u003cbr\u003epushed his good-natured countenance into the crack of the door. Don\u003cbr\u003eKemp was still standing under the replaced pin-up girl, his lean face\u003cbr\u003edarkened by his scowl of suspicion and rage.","brand":"WDS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068909928688,"sku":"2940013681538","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013681538_p0.jpg?v=1763584456","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013681538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
